Tax doc glimpse shows Mitt Romney paid 13.9%

Huffington Post ran this Reuters story saying the former Massachusetts governor paid just 13.9 percent rate in 2010. Comes out to some $6.2 million in taxes on a total of $45.2 million income for the years 2010 and 2011. His tax rate is lower than most because the bulk of his income is from capital gains on investments, the wire service reports.

This Washington Post online story notes that it’s just a snapshot of the full tax disclosure expected later Tuesday morning. The WashPost breaks it down as $21.7 million income in 2010 and $20.9 million in 2011 from profits, dividends or interest.

The couple gave away $7 million in charitable contributions over the past two years, including at least $4.1 million to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Romney’s family has for generations been among the Mormon Church’s most prominent members.
